USAID Goals and Objectives for MEASURE Evaluation Phase II (2004-2008)
USAID redesigned its MEASURE program for 2004-2008 in response to lessons learned from the previous phase. The redesign incorporated data use directly into MEASURE/DHS and MEASURE/Evaluation by eliminating the separate MEASURE/Communication component. The priorities for MEASURE Phase II were improving data demand and utilization, training and capacity building, and collaboration and coordination to better support research and development.
Aa group overview final
The document discusses a research study conducted to evaluate the impact and use of the INEE Minimum Standards for Education in Emergencies over the past 4 years.

Lessons Learned from OVC Evaluations for Future Public Health Evaluations
Three key lessons learned from OVC (Orphans and Vulnerable Children) evaluations for future public health evaluations:
1) Evaluations need to be designed and incorporated from the beginning of projects rather than as an afterthought, but it is difficult to attract attention to evaluations early on.
2) There are methodological challenges to conducting rigorous impact evaluations of public health programs including non-random placement of programs, lack of suitable control groups, and inability to control for external factors.
3) Evaluations require strong leadership and buy-in from stakeholders to facilitate data collection and use of findings to improve programs. Early and continued engagement of stakeholders is important.

OVC Presentation
The document discusses the plight of orphaned and vulnerable youth in Botswana due to HIV/AIDS. It notes that over 1 in 5 children in Botswana are orphans and many have lost parents to HIV/AIDS. These youth often must take on adult responsibilities like caring for siblings and working to support their families. While the UN and some organizations aim to help with services, more focus is needed on adolescents who have unique needs beyond just basic support. The Stepping Stones International initiative provides after school programs, education, and support to empower youth in Botswana.

World Bank Support to Early Childhood Development
The World Bank has increased its lending to support early childhood development (ECD) interventions since 2000, with projects or components in 106 countries. Bank analytical work has expanded the knowledge base on topics like maternal and child health, nutrition, and ECD. However, the Bank lacks a strategic framework to coordinate its approach across sectors toward child development. While progress has been made on immunization and mortality, high rates of maternal mortality and stunting persist in many countries. The Bank could increase impact by shifting its focus from health and survival to also include child stimulation and development interventions in sectors like health, nutrition, and social protection. More emphasis is needed on parenting support and quality, affordable childcare to enable workforce participation.
Abstract
1) The Black Hills uplift and Powder River Basin are separated by two intersecting monoclines that trend northwest and north respectively.
2) The study uses fault and joint data from 25 locations along the monoclines to test the hypothesis that the folds involved an oblique slip component during formation.
3) The results show that the local stress directions necessitate a strike-slip component for each monocline, left-oblique for the Black Hills monocline and right-oblique for the Fanny Peak monocline. They also show strain partitioning occurred at multiple scales during deformation.
Students Evaluation and Examination Methods
The document discusses key concepts related to teaching, learning, and assessment. It provides definitions and explanations of important terms like objectives, outcomes, assessment, evaluation, formative and summative assessment, and direct and indirect assessment methods. It emphasizes that the primary purpose of assessment is to improve student learning and that assessment should be connected to learning objectives and used to evaluate and enhance teaching, learning, and programs.
9. Evaluation of Training Effectiveness
The document discusses evaluating the effectiveness of training programs. It recommends:
1) Evaluating specific courses by measuring perceived learning through student surveys and demonstrated learning through tests and performance assessments.
2) Evaluating the overall training program by tracking key performance indicators like student performance, ratings, retention, and field performance over time.
3) Continually refining training needs, design, delivery, and evaluation to improve both specific courses and the overall program.
Measuring Training Effectiveness
arning & Development business units are under siege and struggling with the effort of what appears to be a very confusing, elephantine challenge of measuring the effectiveness of their training interventions. We need clarity. We need a common sense approach. We need to step up our practice of corporate learning consulting. Let’s discuss existing principles to prove the value of Learning & Development (L&D) deliverables in a corporate environment.
Training evaluation
This presentation discusses training evaluation and provides the following key points:
1. Training evaluation involves assessing the effectiveness of training programs by collecting data on participant satisfaction, skills enhancement, and workplace application of new skills.
2. Kirkpatrick's four-level model is commonly used to evaluate training programs at the reaction, learning, behavior, and results levels.
3. The evaluation process includes identifying purposes, selecting methods, designing tools, collecting and analyzing data, and reporting findings to stakeholders such as training directors and funding agencies.
Evaluation of training
The document discusses Kirkpatrick's model for evaluating training programs using a four-tier approach. Tier 1 evaluates reactions, Tier 2 evaluates learning, Tier 3 evaluates behavior change, and Tier 4 evaluates results including business impact. Formative and summative evaluation are also discussed. Feedback forms, surveys, tests and business metrics are used to measure outcomes at each tier. The goal is to improve training quality and impact over time based on evaluation results.
Early childhood education powerpoint
The document discusses the career of an early childhood educator. It describes some of the daily activities like playing outdoors with children, doing crafts indoors, and teaching basic lessons.

Additionally, it provides statistics on the median pay, expected job growth, and notes that while the salary may not be high, working with children is rewarding.
To India Then Nepal and Back
Jenn Mathews quit her corporate job to travel to India and Nepal, documenting her experiences on her blog. In India, she stayed with a family in their home and visited an orphanage. She then traveled to Nepal, where she faced challenges like fuel shortages but was able to hike in beautiful natural areas. Throughout her travels, she met many people and learned about their lives and cultures. She concludes by providing information on how readers can support charitable causes in India and Nepal through donations or future travel.
Early childhood development
Early childhood spans from birth to age 5 and involves remarkable physical, cognitive, socio-emotional, and language development. Key physical milestones include walking, running, and fine motor skills like scribbling and cutting. Cognitively, children progress from sensorimotor thinking to representational thought, such as pretend play and understanding of symbols. Socio-emotionally, children develop self-awareness and understanding of emotions while learning social skills through family and peer interactions. This period lays the groundwork for further development across multiple domains.

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapy
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.
NAVIGATING THE HORIZONS OF TIME LAPSE EMBRYO MONITORING.pdf

PGx Analysis in VarSeq: A User’s Perspective
Since our release of the PGx capabilities in VarSeq, we’ve had a few months to gather some insights from various use cases. Some users approach PGx workflows by means of array genotyping or what seems to be a growing trend of adding the star allele calling to the existing NGS pipeline for whole genome data. Luckily, both approaches are supported with the VarSeq software platform. The genotyping method being used will also dictate what the scope of the tertiary analysis will be. For example, are your PGx reports a standalone pipeline or would your lab’s goal be to handle a dual-purpose workflow and report on PGx + Diagnostic findings.
The purpose of this webcast is to:
Discuss and demonstrate the approaches with array and NGS genotyping methods for star allele calling to prep for downstream analysis.
Following genotyping, explore alternative tertiary workflow concepts in VarSeq to handle PGx reporting.
Moreover, we will include insights users will need to consider when validating their PGx workflow for all possible star alleles and options you have for automating your PGx analysis for large number of samples. Please join us for a session dedicated to the application of star allele genotyping and subsequent PGx workflows in our VarSeq software.
